Then you will live, your population will increase, and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess. 17 But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 If you do, I tell you today that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to possess when you cross the Jordan River.
